Nuvista Energy Ltd (NVA-T) has garnered notable attention among experts for its strong potential in the natural gas sector. Several reviews highlight significant recent price increases, with some experts expressing frustration over the stock's acquisition by Ovintiv (OVV), which is perceived as undervaluing Nuvista given its fundamental strengths. Key attributes such as decades of high-quality inventory, shareholder-friendly practices, and organic growth strategies have been frequently mentioned, indicating confidence in the company's long-term prospects. Experts are also noting OVV's exposure to lucrative energy plays like Montney in Canada and the Permian in the U.S., with expectations of improved buybacks as they deleverage. Overall, while there is optimism, there is also hesitation regarding the acquisition, stemming from concerns about market sentiment and future growth opportunities being lost.
The Montney is certainly attractive. It has been an area of focus for many energy companies. Ultimately what is attractive, is an LNG solution at some point. His only concern on this company is that it is a gas weighted name. There is really no catalyst for gas other than the seasonality. It has been a weak, weak time in general. He sees both gas and oil trading sideways for the next year.
Natural gas has done very well because of a very, very cold April. The massive surface of gas storage has been whittled down to a deficit now, quite significantly. We are now in the shoulder season where weather is pretty tempered, so it is not until the summertime when it gets really warm that we burn a lot of gas to meet air conditioning needs. This stock is approaching levels that are pretty rich and wouldn’t be surprised if the company came to market to try to de-lever to ramp up CapX because they are sitting on a profitable liquids rich play. There are more attractive opportunities elsewhere.
Has been a bit of an enigma for the past couple of years. Great quality assets and great management but market never really liked it going back several months but now has come into its own. Thinks it has probably run its course in terms of value on a relative basis. Great assets. He thinks there are more compelling relative values.
Drilling some really interesting wells where the economics is really the condensate. This is really a play on oil prices coming back. When you look at the valuation versus a pure oil stock, it is trading at about a 2X lower multiple. Good value. Good management. Well hedged for 2015.
